I see many people in TJ's and WFM buy Ezekiel bread, and it is often mentioned on food sites. So what's the deal? Is it much better for you than a good ol' wheat bread (not talking Wonder Bread  ? Taste much different? I know it has spouted grains or something (which I'm not even sure what that is). Are people more likely to buy if have certain dietary restrictions? Some of it just to be oh so trendy? I've never tried it. Is my turkey sandwich missing out? Thanks. |

I have tried it and found it to be rather coarse and tasteless. I far prefer Whole Foods' organic bread with seeds.

I think the theory is that sprouted grains are easier to digest than standard grains. The carbs are lower than many breads, and it has no added sugar. It's been around for ages so I don't consider it trendy. I don't like it untoasted, but it makes fine toast.

Thanks for the replies and why it might be so popular. ! I think I'm going to pass on trying it for now (or at least its not on my, must try soon list : ). I don't eat toast at home, but put me in a diner with eggs, home fries, then bring on the toast (or bagel).

Not for sandwiches...but great for avocado toast...I buy the one with the orange wrapper.

Another part of the theory could be that the less processing done to a food product and the closer to its original state in nature, the more work your metabolism has to do. I like the cinnamon raisin bread. It's good toasted and spread with mascarpone and strawberries (OK, got that part from Kate and Leopold  ) and I also makes interesting French Toast. |

The bread and the English muffins were recommended to me by a nutritionist; more natural and whole grains, etc. I think it's also supposed to be more diabetic friendly. I prefer it toasted, as others have said.
